20+9+6! The defender of the forward line, the all-around forward that the Rockets and Durant are looking forward to is coming

On June 30, the Houston Rockets became the first team to adjust this offseason. First, the Rockets exchanged Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks for super scorer Durant from the Suns. Then the Rockets signed a two-year, $50 million contract extension with Van Vreet. Just today, the Rockets signed a five-year, $122 million contract extension with Jabbarry Smith Jr.! The Rockets' main framework for next season has basically been determined. Five main players, mainly Van Vreut, Amen Thompson, Durant, Jabary Smith and Shin Kyung, can attack and defend. Rockets general manager Stone has not met the status quo. They also want to defeat the Lakers' forward defensive players!

According to the latest report by the famous NBA reporter Shams, Lakers' forward defensive player Finney Smith has refused to implement the 2025-26 season player option, which means that Finney Smith has officially become a free agent! Then the famous reporter Stein updated Finney Smith's updates, saying that the Rockets are preparing to offer a four-year contract for Finney Smith, which will be slightly lower than the full middle class! Finney Smith is famous for his defense. He was exchanged from Russell for the Nets in the 2024-25 season by the Lakers. Finney can be said to be an indispensable all-around forward for the team to win the championship! The Rockets have proved that defense will help the team win games in the 2024-25 season. Finney's arrival will make up for the Rockets' defensive shortcomings. He can supplement Shin Kyung's defensive shortcomings in the No. 5 position!

This season, Finney Smith played 43 games for the Lakers, averaging 7.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. His highest score this season is 20 points, he has grabbed the highest 9 rebounds, and has sent 6 assists! Finney is 2.01 meters tall and weighs 100 kilograms. He is a defensive forward with a qualified figure. He can not only defend small forwards but also defend the inside. Finney Smith can be regarded as the center in the five small lineups, and he has excellent ability to grab the board! Earlier during the Mavericks, he was the sword guard around Doncic, and now he is the most reliable forward around Doncic and James in the Lakers Finney Smith!

If Finney Smith is dug to the Rockets by Stone as she wishes, Finney will play a crucial role for the Rockets. Finney Smith can not only replace Jabbarry Smith to top the starting lineup, but also play the role of the sixth man! During the rest period of Shen Jing, Uduka can play in five small lineups. At that time, the Rockets' lineup will be Van Vreet, Amen Thompson, Durant, Jabbarry Smith Jr. and Finney Smith. This lineup can speed up and play fast. In addition to a faster pace, Finney can also protect the frame well in the future, and can also maximize Durant's scoring ability. It can be said that Finney Smith and the Rockets are a match made in heaven!
